Heh. Nice.

I watched a documentary on Channel 4 about Trump last night. When I say I can't believe people will elect him, I have to remember the US electorate also elected Reagan.

I can believe very easily that Americans could elect Trump. I can just as easily believe thst Australia could elect his antipodean equivalent as PM. He has a quality that is generally a positive trait in that he 'calls it as he sees it' that dramatically contrasts with most politicians, who everyone knows (even if they won't admit it) always tell the tale that will get them elected. It's a pretty horrifying peek into someone's head, sure, but it's closer to the real person than we would normally see with a politician. It's fortunate there is someone in Sanders on the other side that also calls it as he sees it but speaks for the world of the sane. Trump vs Clinton could well be a landslide simply because nobody trusts her.

Trump / Palin

What could go wrong?

I saw an interview of John Oliver that called it a hostile take over of the Republican party, which is very apt but i wonder how possible it is, mostly because I don't know how many of his supporters are registered or know that they would have to be in order to put him forward or anything about what a president is. His supporters seem to cull from the pool that think "president is a job that pays millions and why would they vote for another person to be paid millions? But he's already rich so...hmm" and "I just want to be an out and proud racist."

See, the out and proud racist thing would be very interesting. Maybe we need to get them out of the closet.

So why is the time stamp 2 minutes off? Possible an hour and 2 minutes off, I forget what it was set to.
